Westin W4 Vertical Jigging 2nd Spinning Rod 1.85m 14–28g

Westin W4 Vertical Jigging 2nd — Precision Spinning Rod for Vertical Jigging from the Boat

The Westin W4 Vertical Jigging 2nd (second generation) is a sensitive yet powerful 1.85 m spinning rod built specifically for vertical jigging (fishing a lure straight up and down) from a boat, with a 14–28 g casting weight that covers most vertical presentations for pike and perch.

Sensitive Blank That Still Sets the Hook

Constructed from Torayca high-performance carbon and reinforced with 1k woven carbon, the blank delivers outstanding bite detection without sacrificing the snap needed for a firm hookset. Even the most hesitant take registers clearly through the grip, giving you time to react with confidence.

Seamless Blank Feel in a 2-Piece Design

The joint is positioned directly above the handle rather than in the middle of the blank. This keeps the working section of the rod as one uninterrupted unit, resulting in a surprisingly light feel (118 g) and faster, more accurate response during the lift-and-drop cadence that vertical jigging demands. Transport length is 161 cm.
